SWITZERLAND - "Zurich city parliament on Wednesday rubber-stamped a loan earmarked for the construction of drive-in sex stalls where punters ("johns") can meet prostitutes at purpose-built venues away from the city center. Representatives voted 74 to 30 in favour of the new development in Alstetten to the west of the city.

Ten garage-like booths will be erected on derelict land in an industrial area in Alstetten, complete with parking spaces and alarm buttons. The so-called "performance stalls" will be the first of their kind in Switzerland if the project goes ahead."
